• Lead, coach, and develop a team of 8 professionals, with accountability for performance management, staff development, and workload prioritization.

• Oversee complex billing issues, exceptions, and escalations, and drive timely resolution.

• Serve as a trusted partner to advisors and client-facing colleagues, responding to billing and fee inquiries with clarity and responsiveness and supporting a strong client experience.

• Partner closely with Finance, Technology, business teams, and other stakeholders on initiatives and changes that impact billing and revenue.

• Lead the function through business and organizational change - assessing impacts, recommending solutions, and driving implementation as the firm grows and evolves.

• Proactively identify opportunities to standardize, automate, and streamline processes, improving efficiency and building scalability.

• Establish and monitor key metrics, controls, and procedures to strengthen performance and reduce risk.

• Communicate clearly with stakeholders around initiatives, issues, and changes, maintaining strong working relationships across the organization.

Required Qualifications:

• 7+ years of experience in billing, revenue management, or a related finance function, including 3+ years managing people.

• Experience in wealth management, investment management, or a similarly complex financial services environment.

• Hands-on experience with the Orion billing platform, including configuring fee schedules and generating quarterly bills.

• Demonstrated experience supporting mergers, conversions, system implementations, or other significant organizational changes.

• Proven ability to operate effectively in a dynamic, evolving environment, translating business change into practical solutions, processes, and execution plans.

• Strong leadership, analytical, problem-solving, and project management skills.

• Experience partnering with Technology on system enhancements, testing, automation, and implementation.

• Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to work effectively across functions and levels of the organization, including advisors and client-facing colleagues.

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience.
  Technical & Functional Skills:

• Familiarity with fee-billing concepts including a range of fee structures (tiered, blended, flat, asset-based), billing methodologies (advance vs. arrears; average daily balance vs. period-end), household aggregation, and proration logic.

• Experience with custodial fee-file submission (e.g., Schwab, Fidelity) is preferred.

• Strong understanding of internal controls and accounting concepts as they relate to revenue and receivables.

• Advanced Excel proficiency (e.g., XLOOKUP, SUMIF, pivot tables, large-data reconciliation).

• Experience with Addepar or similar portfolio management and billing platforms is a plus.
  What You'll Gain:

• A high-impact leadership role at the center of the firm's growth, leading billing integration across an active and expanding merger pipeline.
